    Funny anecdote (possibly apocryphal): Beethoven asked Mozart to be his teacher. Mozart had some things going, and said No. Later, he remarked the Beethoven was “too methodical” in his composing for Mozart’s taste.From Wikipedia’s Beethoven and Mozart:Beethoven made a short stay at Vienna, in the year 1790, whither he had gone for the sake of hearing Mozart, to whom he had letters of introduction. Beethoven improvised before Mozart, who listened with some indifference, believing it to be a piece learned by heart. Beethoven then demanded, with his characteristic ambition, a given theme to work out; Mozart, with a skeptical smile, gave him at once a chromatic motivo for a fugue, in which, al rovescio, the countersubject for a double fugue lay concealed. Beethoven was not intimidated, and worked out the subject, the secret intention of which he immediately perceived, at great length and with such remarkable originality and power that Mozart’s attention was riveted, and his wonder so excited that he stepped softly into the adjoining room where some friends were assembled, and whispered to them with sparkling eyes: “Don’t lose sight of this young man, he will one day tell you some things that will surprise you!”

    Schroeder’s first Beethoven statue? Also, Schroeder’s first word? I don’t remember him speaking before this.

    Disturbing implication that normal humans once walked the earth in this universe of bubble-headed abominations
